The Recovery Village Atlanta

Levels of Care

The Recovery Village Atlanta provides a full continuum of care. Clients “step down” or transition to less intensive treatment levels as recovery progresses, while others may begin at lower levels — depending on your needs. Our levels of care include:

• Medical detox: medical detoxification is typically the first step of recovery treatment. During this process, drugs and alcohol naturally leave your system, which may lead to withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal can be uncomfortable and even dangerous in some cases, which is why our staff closely monitors patients and provides treatment for withdrawal symptoms when necessary. 

• Inpatient care: During inpatient care, patients live onsite at a treatment facility and work on recovery full-time. Inpatient rehab allows patients to separate themselves from situations, people and environments that might trigger their addiction, so they can focus 100% on their recovery. 

• Partial hospitalization program: PHP is a possible next step after completing an inpatient program. It gives patients more independence and autonomy in their day while maintaining access to regular medical assistance. It is best suited for someone who has progressed from residential treatment but still needs daily care. 
• Intensive Outpatient program: IOP is another possible next step after inpatient care or a PHP. Patients in IOP receive over nine hours of treatment per week at the facility, then return home after treatment. Patients in our IOP can work toward autonomy while still receiving a high level of care. 

• Outpatient care: In outpatient rehab, patients can live at home while receiving treatment at the facility. It is less involved than intensive outpatient care and comes with increased independence. Patients in outpatient care are more responsible for their own recovery. 

• Medication-Assisted Treatment: MAT combines medication with therapy to treat addiction. It is particularly useful for patients struggling with alcohol and opioids, which carry more dangerous withdrawal symptoms. 

• Dual Diagnosis: Dual diagnosis involves treating co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders together, rather than individually. Doing so often leads to better outcomes for the patient. 

• Aftercare: After completing a treatment program, The Recovery Village Atlanta provides patients with a personalized aftercare plan. This plan includes relapse prevention strategies and connects patients to support groups and other resources that will aid them in their ongoing recovery.
